I have no idea why but when Cas was throwing his slightly clumsy fists around I kind of melted a little- possibly because I think Misha kind of bled through there in that he probably has never been physically violent like that.

Heee, I was telling smilla02 that, according to the canon in my head, Castiel originally was not a soldier in the sense of someone who goes out and does the violent stuff; he was more of a military engineer-type who specialized in devil's traps. In fact, he totally invented them, and was assigned to Earth thousands of years ago to teach them to humans, for purposes of self-defense. Then his orders changed and he ended up staying on at the garrison with Uriel and Anna, and he's never been really comfortable with his new task (and is even less comfortable going around in his new vessel; these take some getting used to). But, orders are orders, so here he is.

Castiel should really take Dean's hand *nods*

OH MY GOD YES, DEFINITELY.
